In an article from the Wood Floor Business website, Craig DeWitte discusses the effects excessive moisture may have on your hardwood floors. How to consider Summer Prevention tips by professionals.
“During the summer, even the most carefully installed wood floors tend to expand and sometimes cup or even buckle. These events occur because of wood’s relationship with moisture in the air. Air with a high moisture content (MC) or high relative humidity (RH) causes wood to gain moisture.”
It’s important to remember that expansion and contraction are completely normal in your wood floors. However, cupping and buckling are symptoms of excessive moisture and are often serious underlying problems. Don’t wait to call your flooring professional to schedule an inspection. Summer Prevention measures for your Wood Floor can save you from a major loss.
